Survivors of Nazi Persecution: Beyond Camps and Forced Labour
Finding the archival traces of “misery trains”: Early accounts of train transport before the Holocaust
This article analyses a collection of eyewitness accounts by survivors of Nazi persecution gathered in the mid-1950s by the Wiener Library in London, narratives that were elicited about lived experiences of railway transport and trauma, as well as the implication of railway personnel and structures in resistance activities. The accounts provide an opportunity to interrogate early postwar narratives that reveal emerging constructions of refugee id…
Bridging Research Praxes Across Pluralities of Knowledge
How can researchers working both within and external to academia in alldisciplines and areas of research recognize knowledge produced in other spheresand engage more ethically and collaboratively with that knowledge and thosewho create and circulate it? This was the central question behind the BridgingResearch Praxes Across Pluralities of Knowledge conference held at LinkopingUniversity in Sweden and on Zoom in April 2022. At the heart of the con…
Exhibiting the Missing: The World Jewish Congress’ London Exhibition of 1947, ‘Search for the Scattered’
In June 1947, the World Jewish Congress (WJC) launched an exhibition in London titled ‘Search for the Scattered.’ Some of the materials on display were loaned to the WJC by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA)’s Central Tracing Bureau (CTB), the predecessor to the International Tracing Service (ITS). The exhibition presented a detailed accounting of the vital work of both the CTB and the WJC. This paper argues, on t…
Women in child search: A gendered view of post-World War II reconstruction
One of the most crucial sections of the International Tracing Service, centralized and established in 1948, was the Child Search Branch (CSB), which had the emotionally and ethically complex task of assisting 'unaccompanied children' who were discovered in far larger numbers after 1945 than anyone had expected. This article examines the role of three women relief workers who ran the CSB in the post-war period: Eileen Blackey, Cornelia Heise and E…
"Privilege" and Trauma: Sieg Maandag's Climb Upwards
How has "privilege" been represented and incorporated in the study and understanding of the Holocaust, especially through accounts of those who survived? The prolific Dutch Jewish painter and ceramicist, Sieg Maandag, was among the few surviving orphaned children of Amsterdam's so-called Diamond group of prisoners. For a time, they and their families formed part of a "privileged" group of prisoners held in Bergen-Belsen. This essay will consider …

Hass PhD graduate careers and knowledge transfer: A conduit for enduring, multi-sector networks
Rising worldwide scrutiny of the PhD has focused on issues such as return on investment and career outcomes. This article investigates PhD graduate careers and knowledge transfer looking at the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS). Firstly, our extensive literature review of PhD graduate outcomes reveals limited knowledge of HASS careers and a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) bias. Secondly, our case study of graduat…
Applying psychoanalysis to community mediation: An alternative to racist criminalization by the courts
Undressing Kellerman, Uncovering Broadhurst: The Modern Woman and “Un-Australia”
This article explores the contributions of two unique Australian women, Annette Kellerman and Florence Broadhurst, to global fashion and aesthetics through subverting and challenging female gender roles of the early twentieth century. These two women are brought together here as a means of highlighting their markedly contrasting social tactics: undressing versus layering. Kellerman's body became an instrument in her quest for global fame, engagin…
